Six factors that change the price
Platform choice
Shopify and WooCommerce are quick to launch; custom builds suit complex pricing or B2B workflows.
Catalogue size and variants
Thousands of products with sizes, colours and attributes need import tools and careful structure.
Payment and shipping integrations
Razorpay, Stripe, UPI, COD, courier APIs and tracking each need setup.
Inventory and ERP sync
Connecting stock and orders to accounting or warehouse systems adds effort.
Mobile app
A customer app roughly adds the cost of a separate mobile project.
Marketing readiness
SEO structure, abandoned-cart emails and analytics are worth building in early.
How to reduce your cost
- Launch with your best 50-100 products.
- Use proven payment and shipping plugins before custom code.
- Choose a fast, lean theme to protect conversion.
- Add a mobile app only after the store proves demand.
- Plan SEO from the start; it reduces ad spend later.
